Topic: The First Canon EOS 6D Video Footage (Read 18571 times)

From a Preproduction CameraThe first video footage from Johnnie Behiri from the soon to be available worldwide Canon EOS 6D. It’s noted that this is from a preproduction camera and improvements may be seen with the released camera.

Strengths and weaknesses noticed by Mr Behiri.

Camera strengths:

Full frame sensor

Clean high ISO in video mode (1250 is very mush usable).

Manual audio adjusting

PAL/NTSC

Camera weakness:

Severe moire

Soft image

No headphone socket

No audio through HDMI while recording (for monitoring audio on new EVF’s)

That about sums it up perfectly. There is no reason for the 6D video quality to be any worse than the 5D3 (very similar sensor, same processor, encoding, etc), but then there would be no reason to buy a 5D3 over the 6D for video shooting. Hence the lack of auto monitoring, and possibly a lesser moire reduction/sharpening algorithm.

I'm a stills shooter, so I don't care much, but if I did video I think the Blackmagic Cinema Camera is by far the best "low cost" option on the market.

I don't shoot much video, but I definitely saw lots of moire. I hesitate to say it's worse than my 5d2, but it's still very bad. Didn't seem particularly great quality to me. The 35mm T/1.5 Samyang/Rokinon/Bower lens is more interesting to me, although I'd get the standard photo version since I rarely shoot any video.

i say "fuk you canon"..... i sit on my money and stick to my 5D MK2 a few years longer.

or get a Nikon and be why get so

Am no fan of video, so I don't care, but there do seem to a lot of variables possibly not controlled by the test, so... this may be better than we think it is... Not time to dump our canons overboard yet... We must hold true!!!
